Electromagnetic radiation The wavelength is shorter than that of
visible light The shorter wavelength has greater energy The sun produces UV light Responsible for sunburn and some cancers Alters and damages DNA

Can cause many problems in people, including heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heat cramps, heat rash, etc
These conditions can be cured in a number of ways:◦ Hydration◦ Loose Clothing◦ Skin ointment
Vitamin E

Antioxidant Protects skin from UV damage Minimizes cell damage from free radicals May protect the heart in lower doses Found in leafy green vegetables, olives, and
various nuts and seeds

The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the antioxidant Vitamin E can increase the survivorship of heat and UV stressed yeast cells.
![Page 7: Joseph H. Gault February 5, 2011 Central Catholic High School](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf1aac/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The vitamin E concentrations will not significantly affect UV-stressed and heat stressed yeast survivorship.

1. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was grown overnight in sterilized YEPD media.
2. A sample of the overnight cultures was added to fresh media in a sterile sidearm flask.
3. The culture of yeast was incubated at 30°C until a density of 50 Klett spectrophotometer units was reached. This represents a cell density of approximately 107 cells per mL.
4. The culture was diluted in sterile dilution fluid to a concentration of approximately 105 cells per mL.

5. The following tubes were created:

There was no significant variance in survival of the control groups treated with vitamin E.
There was a significant variation in survivorship of cells exposed to UV and not treated with vitamin E.
There was significant variation in survivorship of cells exposed to heat and not treated with vitamin E.
There was significant variation in survivorship of cells when exposed to the various temperatures and treated with vitamin E.
![Page 22: Joseph H. Gault February 5, 2011 Central Catholic High School](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf1aac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The ANOVA indicated significant variation in the survivorship of the yeast colonies.
Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. Vitamin E significantly affects yeast
survivorship when exposed to heat and UV stress.

Lag time Use different concentrations of Vitamin E Use different types of antioxidants
(Lycopene, Vitamin A, Vitamin C) Expose to varying amounts of UV light Expose to a wider range of temperatures Increase sample size
